Unit 1 Women of achievement Pre-reading I Why do you think Jane Goodall went to Africa to study chimps rather than to a university? 2 Do you think her work is important? Why? Reading 月 PROTECTOR OF月FR| CAN WILDLIFE It is 5: 45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. Jane has studied these animals for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans, Watching lily of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to a place where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits while the animals in the group begin to wake up and move. Then we follow as the family begins to wander off into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that everybody will be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. But the evening makes it all worthwhile. The mother chimp and her babies play in the tree and, after they come into her arms, we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. Nobody before has fully understood chimp behaviour. Jane spent many years observing an recording their daily activities. She did not study at a university but she was determined to work with animals in their own environment. when she arrived at Gombe in 1960. it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example. one thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system t For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued for them to be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has set up special places where they can live safely. Her life is very busy but as she says: Once I stop. it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself,"Arent they lucky?"And then think abou small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never

Unit f Women of achievement Using Language Reading A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME As I sat down at the computer to do some research on Lin Qiaozhi. I did not realize that my homework was to change my life. I enjoyed English, biology and chemistry. But which one should I choose to study at university? Suddenly some information was shown on the screen. It seemed that Lin Qiaozhi had been very busy in her chosen career travelling abroad to study and writing books and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies by following some simple rules for eeping babies clean and healthy. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text and realised that it was intended for women who lived in the countryside. Perhaps they could not reach a doctor. When did she live? I searched again and found that Lin Qiaozhi lived in the early 20th century She had become a specialist in womens diseases It struck me like lightning how difficult it must have been for a woman to get a medical training so long ago when womens education was always placed second to men's Was she so much cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me realise that it was hard work and determination as well as her good nature that had got her into medical school. But it was not her success at university that had made her famous. It was her kindness and the consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a days work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her. By now I could not wait to find out more about her, I found that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead, she made sure that about 50.000 babies were safely delivered to their mothers. By this time I was so excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work? It was still not too late to fill in the forms for the university entrance exam. 1 Write down three of Lin Qiaozhi's achievements after reading the passage. 2 2 Answer the following questions I For whom and for what purpose did Lin Qiaozhi write a small book about how to look fter babies"? 2 Which period did Lin Qiaozhi live in? 3 Was it easy for a woman to get medical education at that time?
